1988 Harley-Davidson FXSTS Springer Softail – First Year Classic, Fresh engine with just 61 miles on motor.
VIN: 1HD1BLL30JY023933
This is an absolute beauty of a classic—a first-year-production!   If you know your Harley history, you know the ’88 Springer marked the triumphant return of the iconic front end, wrapped around a rock-solid Evolution motor. This particular bike has spent its entire life in the dry California desert, meaning the chrome is absolutely perfect with zero rust or pitting.
